Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *l'eːŋ, *l'eːŋʔ) : semantic 廴 + phonetic 𡈼 (OC *l̥ʰeːŋʔ).

The phonetic 𡈼 is itself an ideogrammic compound, depicting a person standing on soil, and is also the ancient form of 徵／征 (“to convene, to assemble”), signifying a place where people stand in assembly — a court.

From 聽 (OC *l̥ʰeːŋ, *l̥ʰeːŋs, “to hear”), i.e. “where hearings take place”. Related to 廳 (OC *l̥ʰeːŋ, “hall”).
